LOL, at the end of the match how would you move the robot off the bump without getting a yellow card?
I saw a great football player on Sunday, I believe he was the main reason his team pulled off the only upset over the weekend. His name is Durelle Revis. He is the best cornerback in the NFL hands down. He is capable of covering even the most explosive players on the opposing team. To be successful in this year's game as a defensive robot. Your going to have to do three things flawlessly. Your goal is to be the Durelle Revis of FRC.
+ Market your robot to other teams as a very strong "shut down" defender.
+ Walk the walk, Play defense on teams in their offensive zone, play goalie, "intercept" balls and kick them back to your offensive partners, etc. etc.
All of these things must be committed to before the qualifying rounds begin. You will not get many seeding points. but if you can make your point to other teams that your a defensive Juggernaut, (and back it up on the field, on tape, and on scouting sheets) then I wouldn't be surprised to find your robot in the finals at a regional/district event.
